Class: QgsWidgetWrapper

class qgis.gui.QgsWidgetWrapper

Bases: PyQt5.QtCore.QObject

Manages an editor widget Widget and wrapper share the same parent

A wrapper controls one attribute editor widget and is able to create a default widget or use a pre-existent widget. It is able to set the widget to the value implied by a field of a vector layer, or return the value it currently holds. Every time it is changed it has to emit a valueChanged signal. If it fails to do so, there is no guarantee that the changed status of the widget will be saved.

QgsWidgetWrapper(vl: QgsVectorLayer, editor: QWidget = None, parent: QWidget = None) Create a new widget wrapper

Parameters:
  • vl – The layer on which the field is

  • editor – An editor widget. Can be None if one should be autogenerated.

  • parent

    A parent widget for this widget wrapper and the created widget.

class Property

Bases: int

RootPath = 0
StorageUrl = 2
childEvent(self, QChildEvent)
config(self, key: str, defaultVal: Any = None) Any

Use this inside your overridden classes to access the configuration.

Parameters:
  • key (str) – The configuration option you want to load

  • defaultVal (Any = None) – Default value

Return type:

Any

Returns:

the value assigned to this configuration option

config(self) -> Dict[str, Any] Returns the whole config

connectNotify(self, QMetaMethod)
context(self) QgsAttributeEditorContext

Returns information about the context in which this widget is shown

Return type:

QgsAttributeEditorContext

contextChanged

pyqtSignal(*types, name: str = …, revision: int = …, arguments: Sequence = …) -> PYQT_SIGNAL

types is normally a sequence of individual types. Each type is either a type object or a string that is the name of a C++ type. Alternatively each type could itself be a sequence of types each describing a different overloaded signal. name is the optional C++ name of the signal. If it is not specified then the name of the class attribute that is bound to the signal is used. revision is the optional revision of the signal that is exported to QML. If it is not specified then 0 is used. arguments is the optional sequence of the names of the signal’s arguments.

Parameters:
  • name (str = ...) –

  • revision (int = ...) –

  • arguments (Sequence = ...) –

Return type:

PYQT_SIGNAL

createWidget(self, parent: QWidget) QWidget

This method should create a new widget with the provided parent. This will only be called if the form did not already provide a widget, so it is not guaranteed to be called! You should not do initialization stuff, which also has to be done for custom editor widgets inside this method. Things like filling comboboxes and assigning other data which will also be used to make widgets on forms created in the QtDesigner usable should be assigned in initWidget().

Parameters:

parent (QWidget) – You should set this parent on the created widget.

Return type:

QWidget

Returns:

A new widget

customEvent(self, QEvent)
dataDefinedProperties(self) QgsPropertyCollection

Returns a reference to the editor widget’s property collection, used for data defined overrides.

setEnabled(self, enabled: bool)

Is used to enable or disable the edit functionality of the managed widget. By default this will not change the enabled state of the widget

Parameters:

enabled (bool) – Enable or Disable?

setFeature(self, feature: QgsFeature)

Is called when the value of the widget needs to be changed. Updates the widget representation to reflect the new value.

Parameters:

feature (QgsFeature) – The new feature

timerEvent(self, QTimerEvent)
valid(self) bool

Returns True if the widget has been properly initialized. This acts as hint for the calling party if this wrapper can be used after initializing it. If it cannot be used this is a hint to the caller that he may try to find another suitable widget type instead.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

Validity status of this widget.
